Natural Products as Molecular Messengers

Tipo de material: TextoTextoSeries ; Journal of Natural Products, 73(4), p.305-309, 2011Trabajos contenidos:
  • Meinwald, J
Recursos en línea: Resumen: The chemistry of naturally occurring compounds has long been pursued in the search for medicines, dyes, pesticides, flavors, and fragrances. In addition, the deeper aim of understanding life itself as a chemical phenomenon has motivated generations of scientists. One consequence of such studies has been the realization that natural products often serve central roles as biological signaling agents. We consider natural products from the viewpoint of the organisms that produce and/or respond to them and suggest how a naturally occurring compound may acquire its role in chemical communication.
